  • Capturing a user reaction to media content based on a trigger signal and using the user reaction to determine an interest level associated with a segment of the media content
    Patent number: 9967618
    Abstract: A device may receive an indication of a playback of media content. The device may receive a trigger signal associated with the playback of the media content. The trigger signal may indicate a point, within the playback of the media content, to capture user reaction information associated with the media content. The device may determine, based on the trigger signal, that the user reaction information is to be captured. The device may capture the user reaction information, to form captured user reaction information, based on determining that the user reaction information is to be captured. The captured user reaction information may include an audio recording or a video recording captured by the device. The device may cause the captured user reaction information and the media content to be linked.

  • Combined radar and telemetry system
    Patent number: 9720080
    Abstract: A combined radar and telemetry system is described. The combined radar and telemetry system includes a processing unit that executes instructions, where the instructions define a radar waveform and a telemetry waveform. The processor outputs a digital baseband signal based upon the instructions, where the digital baseband signal is based upon the radar waveform and the telemetry waveform. A radar and telemetry circuit transmits, simultaneously, a radar signal and telemetry signal based upon the digital baseband signal.
